Methodology: Seventy-four (74) patients from outdoor and indoor with dysfunctional uterine bleeding fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were assessed for effect of both therapies. To each Group (A and B) 37 patients randomly allocated and then effects of both therapies were compared. All the variables of study were recorded and results were calculated. Results: Decrease of menstrual blood loss was more in group A than group B assessed in the form of reduced number of pads used per day 59.4% in group A versus (vs) 32.43% in group B. Menstrual bleeding stopped 3 days earlier than usual 29.7% in group A vs 13.5% in group B. Clots were absent in 73% in group A vs 45.9% in group B.
